Ep. 41: The Fresh Briefs of Tyg(air) #zebrablood

August 23, 2016

Welcome to the ChristCore React-O-Vision episode [41] for [August 22].  This week we discuss developing technologies effect on old business models, staying balanced in an increasingly polarized news media and our favorite mind blowing movie moments.  Also, for some reason Anthony talked about his underwear, Ryan is still watching Bachelor in Paradise and Bryce judges them both harshly.  Join in on the conversation @christcorenet on twitter or by e-mailing us at podcast@christcore.net.

Television
Discussion:  We got a couple tweets from @ffa530 about a conversation we had a few weeks ago regarding Milo Yiannopoulos.  Pretty much stating our commentary was very one sided, that side being the liberal media’s take on things.  Because as he said “there are at least 2 sides to every discussion. You should represent more than one of them.”  Rather than discussing that in particular it brings to mind a subject I want to throw out to you guys.  Where do you get your news?  How do you try to stay balanced on issues and get passed the headlines and clickbait titles to truly understand an issue before commenting, or do you?  It’s not easy to find news that’s right down the middle, so how do you manage?
Bullet Points:

* First look at the ‘MacGyver’ pilot
* Ron Weasley will channel his inner Jason Statham?  Brad Pitt? eeessh
* Stranger Thing Season 2 will “Do Right By Barb” a fan favorite?
* Arnold Schwarzenegger to be the new celebrity Apprentice

* Mr. Robot Season 3 renewed at USA
